2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

I saw a video on spawnwave that talked today about what games people are enjoying in 2026 right now. And the different reactions of different social media/sites.

I personally am loving Wild Blue Skie s. Its just starfox. Thats what I want to play!

BALL x PIT is a whole lot of fun. I didn't think it would be but it keeps getting better and better.

I also liked FTL back in the day so I picked up Void War . Its like warhammer + FTL and its fantastic.

EDIT: You all are great! Keep them coming! So many games (video games and otherwise) in this list!

I'm curious what more proof you're looking for? It's all in that Wikipedia article. Here is at least one proof, directly quoted from that very article:

She also voiced opposition to the Scottish Gender Recognition Reform Bill, aimed at allowing transgender people to change their legal gender more easily and subsequently she donated £70,000 to the legal challenge brought by For Women Scotland against the Scottish Ministers in the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom, which on 16 April 2025 ruled that the legal definition of a woman in the Equality Act 2010 is based on biological sex.

If that isn't enough proof for you, then you're in denial my friend. I was also deeply saddened and hurt when I learnt my beloved childhood series author became hateful and is for some reason trying to emulate Voldemort. I grew up with those books, they were important to me. But I chose to leave them behind and prioritise my personal morals.

Again, it's your own decision whether supporting that publisher and developer is more important to you than supporting Rowling.

developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games

Personally, I don't recognise or feel particularly fondly towards that developer, and Warner Bros would hardly notice your support.

Assuming the Wikipedia article is correct. That is not proof that MY money goes there. She would have payed it without me buying the game anyway. I don't care about her political stance and acts. It's also a topic that does not affect me, so I do not have any feelings. Every company does something bad, should we never buy games again, because a producer did something stupid or the parent company getting money does something stupid? She is not involved in the games I buy and play, then I buy and play those games. I don't care about her opinion.

I don't know how to make that more clear.

and Warner Bros would hardly notice your support.

Ah yes, selective facts. Why does Warner Bros doesn't notice my support, but the one person you are against it does? In fact, royalties are just a little sum, compared to the entire costs.

This is becoming a bad faith argument, so I'm just going to call it here. Enjoy your game :)

What is Bad faith about that?

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 3 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

It's full of fallacies, at this point it's become a circular argument where they just repeat their points over and over until they "win". This was never even an argument, I was not trying to convince anyone to do anything from the start.

I'll break it down though so you can recognise the bad faith arguments in future.

Assuming the Wikipedia article is correct.

Attacking the source of information unjustly, when they themselves have provided zero hard evidence in this entire thread.

That is not proof that MY money goes there. She would have payed it without me buying the game anyway.

Ignoring the fact that more money means more funding. As if she magically conjures her own money.

I don't care about her political stance and acts. It's also a topic that does not affect me, so I do not have any feelings.

Earlier they said they do care about trans rights, now they don't.

Every company does something bad, should we never buy games again, because a producer did something stupid or the parent company getting money does something stupid?

Whataboutism. We're not talking about other producers or other games, just this one.

She is not involved in the games I buy and play, then I buy and play those games.

She is involved though, so this is just wrong.

I don't care about her opinion. I don't know how to make that more clear.

Getting defensive and standoffish.

and Warner Bros would hardly notice your support.

Ah yes, selective facts. Why does Warner Bros doesn't notice my support, but the one person you are against it does?

False equivalences. Warner Bros is a multibillion massive corporation and has an entire enterprise of many brands. Rowling basically only has Harry Potter. Much easier to boycott one over the other, and Warner Bros as far as I know isn't funding anti-trans stuff. They're also implying that funding Warner Bros is some kind of noble act like giving to charity that counteracts any harm Rowling does.

In fact, royalties are just a little sum, compared to the entire costs.

Downplaying their contribution, and ignoring half the facts I've provided earlier in the thread.

It's generally not worth talking to people once they get like this. They've already made their choice and are only trying to justify it in any way they can, using emotional arguments rather than logical ones.

Ah yes, the classic "He does not agree, so its bad faith" argument.
